.NET Framework? Mono? Xamarin? .NET Core? Blazor? Java interop? And in the IDE, compile them

Quote: It's more like the .NET Framework except you can have multiple .NET Cores side by side even at the system level.
Am I the only one who's getting fed up with that line? It's perfectly possible to have multiple versions of .NET Framework side-by-side at the system level. It's how things worked prior to .NET 4.5, when they decided to make all future releases in-place upgrades.
The fact that they don't have the resources to make a new side-by-side version of the full framework doesn't mean that it's impossible to do it, or that multiple side-by-side installs is somehow a "new" feature of .NET Core.
Quote: That enables us to service one common component if there's a security vulnerability. ... I don't think we've serviced .NET Core through Windows Update... We haven't made the decision yet.
Again, having one place to patch when there's a security vulnerability isn't some new thing in .NET Core; it's the default behaviour with the full framework. And the full framework gets updated via Windows Updates; it doesn't require developers to recompile every line of code they've ever written every couple of weeks to fix the security vulnerabilities. 
And surely I can't be the only one thinking that this sounds like XKCD 927[^]?

My question is why did they f*ck around releasing core when it was eventually going to be rolled up into a new version of .Net?
When that happens, confusion will definitely reign.
What's funny is that as long as I'm working where I'm working, we will never see .Net 5 - or even .Net Core - in our dev environment. The federal government is ALWAYS at least five years behind the curve where dev tools are concerned.
In point of fact, our product will probably be end-of-lifed because we can't rewrite it with more modern frameworks, because we don't have the time or the man-power to do it. The problem is that I'm the only contractor on the team, and am therefore the only one who has a vested interest in seeing the app live on. Government employees don't generally care because they can just be shuffled off to new assignments...

Blender is Free Software. It is free to use for everyone. Free to use for any purpose, also commercially. Blender is free to share with others, it is free to study Blender’s sources and free to make new versions. So... how much do you want for it?

Interesting - it explains why each upgrade makes it less and less likeable. Maybe they'll enable the add-ons they disabled in the pay version.
I'll keep my eye on this - with my WaterFox browser.

It's not exactly true that it's a paid version.
.. Because sales will be close to zero that they'll probably round down to a negative number.

Google earned $4.7bn from news organizations in 2018, says study — RT World News[^]
So google sat on its collective @rse and let its bots rape news sites and reel in money for nothing, while the news organisations themselves only made $5.1bn for their work -- out of which, they had to pay everyone for their contributions, their work, etc.
And note that the 4.7bn is probably an extremely low estimate.
Damn those greedy, avaricious copyright holders!
Don't they know that google deserves their money more they they deserve it?

It's somewhat distorting to compare Google's worldwide ad revenue with that of US news agencies alone, I'd have thought.

That's not what they've done.
google's worldwide ad revenue is over 100bn.

As far as I can tell from the article, Google's global ad revenue from news is $4.7 billion whereas US news agencies make $5.1 billion, so that is very much what they've done. Apples vs. pears.
I'm not defending Google (total ad revenue for last year, an utterly terrifying $116 billion), just pointing out some rather disingenuous journalism.
